Day 66: Plaid? Just a tad.

• Green cardigan, Torrid, remixed.
• Orange plaid surplice dress, Silhouettes Outlet a while back.
• Grey Docs, remixed.

I went through an orange thing last year. It passed, but I kept this dress. And check it out -- I am not wearing any black today. That almost never happens...

Day 65: Simplicity.

• Favorite silk scarf, thrifted, remixed.
• Black v-neck t-shirt, thrifted.
• Denim skirt, Old Navy, remixed.
• Medieval reproduction shoes, purchased at the Renaissance Festival years ago.

I completely forgot I had this shirt. I got it with a specific sewing purpose in mind, and found it in my fabric box this week. I had lost my enthusiasm for the original project, so now I have a nice new (to me) shirt. And the shoes are ridiculous-looking, I know -- but they're so comfortable that I still wear them sometimes.

Day 64: Not a trick.

• Green cardigan, Torrid, remixed.
• Black dress, thrifted, remixed.
• Green tights, Target, remixed.
• Danskos, remixed.

I admit that this is almost the same as a previous outfit, but I checked -- and it was a different dress. Whew. I am actually starting to run out of combinations...gulp.

Day 63: Brunch.

• Leopard cardigan, remixed. (Understatement.)
• Black gathered-detail tank, Old Navy, remixed.
• White camisole, Old Navy.
• Dickies denim Bermuda shorts, Torrid, remixed.
• Tevas, remixed.

Not pictured: Desire for hash browns. But it was definitely present.

Day 62: Remix Saturday.

• Everything is remixed.

Sometimes you just have to wear the purple shoes. Trust me on this.

Day 61: Shiny, happy Friday.

• Green cardigan, Old Navy clearance.
• Turquoise t-shirt, Avon, possibly remixed.
• Grey camisole, Old Navy, remixed.
• Black skirt, sewn by me, remixed.
• Tevas, remixed.

I got this sweater in the middle of the summer, and this is the first time it's been cool enough to wear it. It's a really soft cotton -- I think it will become a favorite.

Day 60: Suddenly autumn Thursday.

• Black cardigan, Target, remixed.
• Print tank, Roaman's (I think), remixed.
• Black camisole, Old Navy, remixed.
• Denim gauchos, thrifted, remixed.
• Black strappy shoes, remixed.

It was suddenly Autumn today. I hope it lasts. Also, we're two-thirds of the way through this experiment...

Day 59: Airport Wednesday.

• Vintage scarf, Etsy.
• Gathered neck t-shirt, thrifted.
• Polka dot skirt, thrifted, remixed.
• Danskos, remixed.

I had to go pick up a friend at the airport, so the scarf is an homage to all the friendly flight attendants who have brought me drinks through the years.

Day 58: French-inspired Tuesday.

• Scarf, thrifted, remixed.
• Black on black striped top, thrifted.
• Denim pencil skirt, Old Navy, remixed.
• Danskos, remixed.

Let's see, I have a scarf knotted just so, a horizontally striped top, and a denim* skirt -- all I'm missing is a baguette. Or a beret. Shoot, I have a beret, too! Ah, well...next time.

*Denim originally came from Nimes in France -- hence the name.

Day 57: Another rumpled Monday.

• Scroll-print cardigan, Alloy clearance, remixed.
• Green Swiss dot sundress, Alight.com a long time ago.
• Danskos, remixed.

Like many garments from Alight.com, this dress has always been a little "delicate." One of the straps broke the first time I wore it, for instance -- but I've kept it repaired. I think it may be about time to retire it, though. I don't wear it very often now...

Day 56: Another sleepy Sunday.

Red print bandana, thrifted, remixed.
Red puff-sleeve cardigan, Torrid clearance last year.
Knit dress, remixed.
Teva flip-flops, remixed.

My hair is ridiculous. And the bandana doesn't really help...though it makes me think of 1987, when I had a similarly terrible haircut. I wore a lot of weird stuff in my hair that year -- but at least I'm not crimping it anymore. Right?

Day 55: Picnic and a musical.

• Black and white shades, Forever 21 (I think).
• Crazy print tunic, thrifted, remixed.
• Black capris, Lane Bryant, remixed.
• Tevas, remixed.

We're going to have a picnic in the park, and then we're watching the "Buffy" singalong. Wait, did I say "watching"? I mean, we'll be singing along. You know.

Day 54: Far-flung family.

• Recently ubiquitous leopard print cardigan, remixed (understatement).
• Purple gathered neck tank top, Old Navy.
• Black camisole, Old Navy, remixed.
• Grey skirt, sewn by me, remixed.
• Purple velvet MJs, remixed.

Going to lunch with my Mom, Grandma, and my Mom's best friend, who's in from out of town.

Day 53: TGIT.

• Grey polka-dot scarf, thrifted, remixed.
• Grey cardigan, Torrid a while back.
• Black tank, Rainbow, remixed.
• Denim pencil skirt, Old Navy, remixed.
• Tevas, remixed.

I have tomorrow off. It's going to be lovely, I just feel it...

Day 52: Surely I've worn this shirt already?

• Purple gathered neck t-shirt, Old Navy.
• Black camisole, Old Navy, remixed.
• Grey plaid skirt, Fatshionista Friday sale, remixed.
• Danskos, remixed.

Just another workday...but a long one. Glad to be home. I don't think I have worn this shirt this whole time...weird.

Day 51: Purple people eater.

• Leopard print cardigan, reeeeeeeeemixed.
• Black knit dress, thrifted, remixed.
• Burn-your-retinas-purple tights, WeLoveColors.com last year.
• Danskos, remixed.

Yes, I have worn that cardigan three days in a row. And that's fine. Also, I love these tights. They're a searing, unforgettable purple, which is exactly what you need sometimes. They fit incredibly well, with one caveat: The waistband does come up to just under my bra. However, it doesn't roll -- at all. I've gotta say, the newish lycra-added plus size line at We Love Colors is absolutely worth the price.

Day 50: Late for work = FAIL.

I completely forgot to take the picture today. I dashed out the door, had a super long day, and found myself in pajamas before I realized what had happened. My bad.

I wore:

• Leopard print cardigan, Alloy, remixed.
• Black embroidered detail tank, remixed.
• Green lace detail camisole, Old Navy.
• Black Dickies trousers, remixed.
• Grey and black Teva mary janes, remixed.

I am wearing that cardigan almost every day now. I don't know why. I mean, I like it -- but I have others. It's a mystery.

Day 49: Lather, rinse, repeat.

• Leopard print cardigan, Alloy, remixed.
• Lock print dress, B & Lu, remixed.
• Teva flip-flops, remixed.

I hope I'm not losing my momentum. There are still 41 days left. Gulp.

Day 48: So groggy.

• Red cotton scarf, Maggie's Organics clearance last year.
• Black and white "t-shirt alternative," sewn by me, remixed.
• Grey skirt, sewn by me, remixed.
• Red Tevas, remixed.

This gloomy weather is doing me in. I appreciate the cooler weather, but damn, I need some sunshine. There's a reason I don't live in the Pacific Northwest.

Day 47: Casual Friday.

• Heart t-shirt, Old Navy (altered by me), remixed.
• Grey camisole, Old Navy, remixed.
• Jeans, thrifted, remixed.
• Red Teva slip-ons, Teva.com clearance last year.

The shoes are some kind of supposedly super-environmental recycled something or other. Plastic pop bottles, maybe? Something like that. Comfy. That's the important thing.

Day 46: Simple.

• Heathered burgundy t-shirt, Target.
• Black skirt, sewn by me, remixed.
• Danskos, remixed.

Feeling a little under the weather, so I didn't put out much effort...

Day 45: Point of no return.

• Green cardigan, Torrid, remixed.
• Paisley dress, sewn by me, remixed.
• Olive tights, Target last year.
• Danskos, remixed.

I'm halfway through the 90 days of my experiment -- and so far, so good. I have been seriously stumped twice, and tempted to repeat only once. I'm sort of proud of myself. Also, these tights make me think of The Hulk. Sarah SMASH!

Day 44: Gloomy afternoon.

• Wide knitted headband, made by me.
• Ruffle detail top, Old Navy (altered), remixed.
• Grey plaid skirt, Fatshionista Friday sale, altered by me.
• Danskos, remixed.

This skirt is a wool blend, and has been too hot to wear all summer. But it has been cool lately (comparatively), so I decided to break it out early. It was a fitted ankle-length skirt, but I shortened it by taking off the top and using the existing hem.

Day 42/43: Whoops!

I accidentally erased the photos from my camera before I could upload them, mostly because I am a jackass.

But this is what I wore...

Day 42:

• Cherry print hoodie, thrifted, remixed.
• White camisole, Old Navy (probably) remixed.
• The Ugliest Bermuda Shorts Ever, Avenue.
• Teva flip-flops, remixed.
  

And those shorts are hideous. I should get rid of them.

Day 43:

• Silk scarf, thrifted, remixed.
• Black ribbed tank, Old Navy, remixed.
• Jeans, thrifted, remixed.
• Strappy shoes, Payless, remixed.

Didn't have to work, nothing spectacular.

I will do my darnedest not to be such a jackass in the future. (So say we all.)

Day 41: Meow.

"Meow" t-shirt*, Target for Halloween, last year.
Black skirt, sewn by me, remixed.
Teva flip-flops, remixed.

Off to run errands. "Not so funny meow, is it?"

*This shirt has rhinestone accent eyes, so I think it's safe to say that the controversial Beth Ditto collection at Evans (UK) doesn't have dibs on this particular monstrosity. Heh.

Day 40: 40 days and counting.

• London scarf, Muji, remixed.
• Ruffle top, Old Navy (altered), remixed.
• Jeans, thrifted, remixed.
• Strappy shoes, Payless, remixed.

It's only fitting that the outfit I wore on the 40th day was 100% remixed. It was also the first day I really had to consider what to wear -- mostly because I have a massive pile of dirty laundry...

Day 39: Off to serve my corporate masters.

• Black cardigan, Target (at least five years ago).
• Black and white tank, Woman Within (from that fake "French" collection).
• Jeans skirt, Old Navy, remixed (for the billionth time).
• Grey Doc Martens, eBay, remixed (and awesome, if I do say so).

I took this when I was really dreading work. Hence the expression. The bad hair is unrelated.

Day 38: Polka dot frenzy.

• Polka dot scarf, Target in 2005.
• Black split neck shirt, thrifted, remixed.
• Pink camisole, Old Navy.
• Polka dot skirt, thrifted, remixed.
• Danskos, remixed.

Polka dots always cheer me up for some reason. (And that is not the same camisole from Monday -- I have two of them. *wink*)

Day 37: Punk rock secretary.

• Red zebra print shirt, sewn by me.
• Black camisole, Old Navy, remixed.
• Black skirt, sewn by me.
• Tevas, remixed.

There's something about this fabric that inspires "my precioussssss" type covetousness.

First of all, I got into a terrible bidding war over this fabric on eBay. It's red knit with little zebras all over it, and all I could think about was the kids' joke: "What's black and white and red all over? A zebra with a sunburn!" I had to, had to have it. And paid far too much for it as a result. Then it got worse when my Grams put the bad mojo on me. She saw the fabric and decided she wanted a shirt from it, and she almost always gets her own way. Well, I told her "No way!" and very carefully drafted a simple cap sleeve shirt with my measurements...except somehow, it didn't fit. At all. Despite "measuring twice and cutting once." She jinxed me, man! And the shirt fit her perfectly, of course -- so she got her way. I just barely had enough to make a second shirt for me -- but I did, and here it is.

Quite a story, am I right?

More publishing problems.

Blogger was broken, and then fixed, and then broken again. Yay! I have still been taking pictures, of course, but I have a backlog to publish...as it takes about 1.5 HOURS EACH to load them.

For fuck's sake, Blogger. Really?

I will attempt to catch up tomorrow. Thanks...
